RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.

@elsevierconnect.bsky.social Why is the author information missing from the web page of a paper?

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is an amazing opportunity for postdocs to share their work!

Calling all neuroscience postdocs! Come and share your work with the London neuroscience community. No CVs, publication records or recommendation letters needed. Learn more about SWC’s Emerging Neuroscientists Seminar Series and apply by 10 July: www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/content/...

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social I read your peice www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv.... Surely, one of Sinwar's objectives, which was successfully achieved, was turning Israel into country blinded by revenge, becoming an international pariah and also generally stoking the fires of antisemitism?

Amazing talk by @franckp.bsky.social at @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social today!

Does anyone look back at the Spanish Inquisition and think “those were good times.”?

Imagined writing of Chinese signs can be decoded using Utah Arrays. Neural activity is found to transition through states linked to handwriting phases. Neurons’ tuning stays stable within states, but gain and direction shift as the brain progresses. Modeling these states improved decoding by 69%.

“You can’t just be confident, you have to be confident about something.” Research led by @jerlich.bsky.social and Xiaoyue Zhu set out to disentangle the different kinds of confidence by designing a perceptual gambling task for rodents. ⬇️ www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/dec...

Ha ha. I am indecently excited by this! I think there are so many amazing neuroscience stories that don’t get told it’s great to be able to show some of them off! I hope the kids (and adults!) that read this will be as excited as I am about the way the brain works.

Amazing opportunity for a UCL faculty position:

@bdsmovement.bsky.social is it time to BDS the USA?

Super excited to share this new work from my collaboration with @annduan.bsky.social. It's the most innovative project I have worked on. We explored the strategies of mice as they raced for visually cued rewards in 'the Octagon'.

With meta and google bending over, it's time for an EU social media site to step up! The US is not the world.

if you are lying in bed at night and think you might smell something burning you might be uncertain of the smell but sure that you should get up to check the stove. We set out to disentangle these different kinds of confidence. nbdt.scholasticahq.com/article/1296...

This is really bleak, they're attacking all animal research with the ranking Democrat, Shantel Brown, agreeing with Nancy Mace. Brown goes on to state that AI and 3D printing give us "better and more accurate results" compared to actual biology.

Reducing foreign aid? Ok. Reduce new grants/funds going forward. But pulling the rug on ongoing projects. Diabolical. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

🧠🔍 AI can predict study results better than humans A @natureportfolio.bsky.social study shows that large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results Could this be the future of scientific discovery? #OpenAccess paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #GenAI 🧪

Alright #neuroAI 😉 crew and those in #AI #ML perhaps interested in brain-inspired models and what’s next (not just foundation models please!). Here is my vision/roadmap of the next steps.

JAMA introduces a new framework for drawing causal inferences from observational data. Including a call for adopting explicit causal language. This is a key moment in the embrace of contemporary causal inference methods within health science! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... #EpiSky #CausalSky

Do you want to do a postdoc in London at the fabulous SWC with me and Ann Duan? Do you have expertise in rodent behavior, neurophysiology and/or imaging? Are you interested in economics? decision-making? Multiplayer games? Let's chat in DC! #sfn #neuroscience #postdoc #SFN2023 sainsburywellcome.org

Hi Everyone. Not sure what i'm doing here. But... anything is better than X, right?

Can’t celebrate science these days but still want to draw your attention to my student Itai Rieger's new paper since he’s been recruited to defend us from Hamas. Epigenetic inheritance doesn’t require anything that’s inside the nucleus - show him love! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
